India 1-2-3

According to Sajith Pai, India isn't a monolithic country of 1.5 billion people like many Westerners think. Instead it's really an amalgamation of three countries with very different demographic profiles. You have:

India Two: 300 million aspiring middle-class citizens who inhabit the digital economy but not yet the consumption economy.

...and this fragmentation manifests itself in a number of fascinating differences in people's digital habits.
